I'm currently working on an corporate environment, full of limitations, on a non-admin windows 7 workstation, and I don't have access to the corporation user support for a few days.
More importantly, I'm connected to my corporation's network under my Active Directory account, and I can acces the internet through a pre-configured proxy. I have the url, I have the port number (through the Internet Options -> LAN Settings menu). Cooncerning the internet access, everything works fine.
The problem is that I'm working on the maintenance of the code of an application whose libraries are remotely aggregated with Maven. Maven needs the internet to downloaded specified libraries from a public repository. The proxy can be set in a settings xml file where i can set the proxy host url, the port number, the non-hosts urls and the user's credentials.
I assumed that I could use the AD credentials : Does not work (Maven explicitely logs "Not Authorized by proxy"). I tried then to look into my user account stored credentials manager, but I didn't noticed any credentials related to a proxy. There may be some limitations due to the fact I'm not admin on my workstation. I also tried not to use some credentials, thinking that the proxy may not need any user authentication : didn't work.
I'm quite struggling with that question because applications that can detect system proxy setting manage to connect, and thy must use some credentials.
So I have two questions :
- Does the OS provide any kind of default credentials when nothing is specified (I assumed the AD credentials, but i could be something else I forgot to think about) ?
- Is there any other way to get the credentials used by the OS than the one listed above (the user account's credential manager) ?
Thanks for any help !
